iPhonewzealand NZ Essentials App has been updated
Just a quick heads-up to let you know our app, NZ Essentials, has been updated (v.1.0.5). The update brings iOS4 support so it now remembers the last screen you were in, handy if you use the web view a lot, and some bug and crash fixes.
Previously the first time you loaded the app the NZ Spotlight section would freeze and the app would crash. This has now been resolved and the app no longer crashes.
Hit the read more for a link to the app store or hop in now and check for updates.

App Preview: Sella
For some time now, iPhone users have been asking for a Trademe or Sella app. TradeMe users have been more vocal than Sella when it comes to talking about an app (and more-so why they don’t have one), perhaps due to the sheer number of TradeMe users. But little did we know that Sella have been quietly working away in the background on an app which is sure to see the folk at TradeMe snapping their pencils.
They have just submitted the app to the store and it should be live within the next few days and will be free to download. They have sent us a preview to take a look at and we’ll be doing a full review soon. Join us after the break for a quick look and a few images to whet the appetite..

iBooks for iPhone now available
Well, after a false start and a gap that was filled by our own Whitcoulls for a while, iBooks is now available for iPhone and iPod touch. Strangely, it doesn’t seem to want to install via the App Store on your iPhone and wants to make its grand debut by being downloaded to your Mac or PC and synced across via iTunes (Seems to download fine now). Anyway, make sure you’ve installed iOS 4, then hit the App Store to grab iBooks (it’s a free download) and claim your free copy of Winnie the Pooh.
[UPDATE] – Sadly, there it nothing but free classics in the online iBookstore right now. Hopefully this will change over the next few days. The Three Musketeers, anyone?

iOS 4 Available now!
Go get it folks! iOS 4 is available now from an iTunes 9.2 near you.
If you haven’t got it already then go download iTunes 9.2 and run a manual backup (right click on your iPhone/iPod touch in iTunes, hit backup). You may also want to manually back up any images if you plan on doing a restore (which we recommend).
Don’t forget our bundles don’t work with iOS 4 but you can manually set the settings by visiting this link from your iPhone or check our manual setting page here.
Just installed it? Hit up the comments and let us know what you think!

Fun app review: World Cup Schedule
Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!
If we were to review every world cup 2010 app in the app store we would probably still be typing away long after the final whistle has blown, there are that many to choose from, free and paid from some well known trusted sports names and some not so well known. The app I have gone out on a limb with and have chosen to recommend and review is World Cup Schedule. How on earth did I pick this one over the others? read on to find out.
